  8. Few questions:
    How did you get the middle rebar out of the chair?
    How far “up” do you fill the mould with the 3/2/1 mix with the aggregates, then with just the 2/1? At least – I’m assuming you do that so that the stones don’t show?
    How much of the sealant do you use? Assuming the concrete absorbs a ton.

  10. I was honestly worried for a minute when you were filling those moulds🤪 The concrete looked so dry! It turned out absolutely amazing tho. Love how well organised you are and how much care you take in your projects❤️

  11. Yet another option; Aircrete. Highly recommend the channel 'My little Hoamstead' for that.
    They also flipped a van using mainly wooden pallets😍

  12. Kind of off topic but I wish you guys would stick more to your own creativity for design ideas rather than following what’s trendy at the time. I feel like that was what I was gravitated towards when I first came across your channel but now it’s lost that spark

  14. Actually iImust dissapoint you: concrete is in no way a sustainable material since it is made of sand. In order to get the sand, the ocean ground is digged open and huge holes are left behind where no plants and animals can ever live again. There is actually even a huge sand mafia business where people literally smuggle sand that they take from public beaches in Dubai or other places. Whenever you have the chance to use something other than concrete you should take it and save the ocean.

  18. I know absolutely nothing about working with concrete but I’m thinking this might be a good project to reuse plastic instead of filling landfills and the ocean. I could also see some colored glass, obviously polished afterwards.

  20. I really don't know how to take Rachel, her voice doesn't match her, its hard to express.

  21. I wouldn't, though I'm very happy that you love it because it IS quite a vibe. 🥰😎 Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

  22. I’m sorry WHAT?! Not the Sorry Girls making designer furniture! Are you kidding me? I can’t believe Rachel hasn’t been a part of the team since day one, she slays 💕
